Farley Nursery School, Sparsholt offers a truly unique outdoor learning environment where children play, learn and above all enjoy growing up in the wonderful outdoors.

The three Yurt classrooms provide a special haven for the children. Their ash framework is sourced from a local forest and the canvas frames are wrapped with organic sheepswool in Winter. Despite this, the children spend almost all of their time outdoors.

Children at Sparsholt benefit from on-site access to the zoo and dairy farm at Sparsholt College where they watch the lambing in spring and visit the pigs and the dairy on a regular basis. Children are also encouraged to get involved in every stage of crop growing on the nursery vegetable patch, from planting the pumpkin, courgette and sweetcorn seeds to watering, harvesting and even eating the fresh produce during outdoor picnic time!
